SINGAPORE - Team USA won two gold medals on the track at the 2010 Youth Olympic Games Monday night, bringing the track & field competition to a close with a total of eight medals. Monday evening featured the debut of the mixed medley relays, with the Americas team winning gold in both the girls and boys event.

On the girls' team were Myasia Jacobs (Paterson, N.J.), Robin Reynolds (Miami, Fla.),Tynia Gaither (BAH) and Rashan Brown (BAH). The medley relay format included a 100, 200, 300 and 400 meter leg. Jacobs - who won the silver medal in the 100 meters on Saturday - started things out for the Americas team and handed the baton to Gaither, who in turn passed it to Brown. By the time Reynolds received the baton, the Americas had a slight lead, which she held on to, finishing in 2:05.62. In second place was the Africas team in 2:06.91, followed by Europe in 2:07.59.

Reynolds leaves Singapore with two golds - she also won the girls 400 meters on Saturday. She, along with her teammates, were all smiles after Monday's relay. They all are proponents of including mixed relays in other international events.
